STEP 3.5:

Remove EVR solenoid from EVR/DPFE bracket.

STEP 3.6:

Install new EVR/DPFE bracket and new ignition coil bracket in the same mounting holes that the original
EVR/DPFE was mounted in using the original mounting bracket hardware. The brackets stack on each
other with the coil mounting bracket on the bottom and the EVR/DPFE bracket on top. See Figure 4.
Figure 4

STEP 3.7:

Attach the EVR solenoid and DPFE to the new mounting bracket with provided hardware (4 pieces of
each of the following: 10-24 X 1/2" socket cap screw, locking nut and #10 washer). See Figure 4.

Figure 5

SECTION IV: ORIGINAL COMPONENT RELOCATION AND BRACKET INSTALLATION:

STEP 4.1:

Install supercharger mounting plate in the same location that the coil mounting bracket was
previously mounted in using three (3) 10mm x 100mm hex head bolts and washers on the front side
of the supercharger mounting plate and three (3) .600" spacers on the back side of the plate. DO
NOT TIGHTEN. See Figure 6. Note: Due to differences between the Windsor and Romeo
engines it may be necessary for the use of two (2) 8mm x 100mm hex head bolts in place of
the 10mm bolts mentioned above. The 8mm bolts have been included in the kit. If your
application does not require them to be used they may be discarded.

STEP 4.2:

Route cam sensor wire behind supercharger mounting plate and connect to cam sensor. Note: It
may be necessary to cut back the convoluted shielding to provide flexibility.

STEP 4.3:

to check for fuel leaks. If a leak is present, correct problem prior to starting engine.

STEP 7.4:

Start engine and check for proper belt alignment and tension. Note: Over time the supercharger
drive belt may stretch slightly. Check belt periodically and adjust tensioner as necessary.
